Elon: The actual number of moves that are not utterly stupid in chess is tiny and chess will be fully solved one day

Chess.com: Skill issue

Elon: Chess is hard for humans, but not for computers. One day, it will be fully solved like checkers. Between now and then, or even after, have fun. People enjoy may games/sports where machines are vastly better.

Chess.com: There are more possible chess games, by about 40 order of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.

Elon: Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 ooms less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend. (Here I am arguing with some random intern at a chess website)

Chess.com: I'm a full-time employee

Elon: (something-emoji)

Chess.com: Even my friends don't text be back that fast

I knew Melon Husk was a moron years ago. Just before the release of the Cyberdumpster, he had made an off-the-cuff statement about the quality of said vehicle as "having a tolerance of plus or minus five microns". At the time I worked for a company that made power train parts for all kinds of different makes and models of cars. specifically, I made what's known as a "spider", a type of gear that allows for flexibility at the joint: the part under the protective "boot" if you've ever glanced under a car. My job was running the machine that cuts the splines on the spider that makes it fit on the shaft. Even the smallest of spiders have an I.D. (inner diameter) tolerance of plus or minus fifteen microns.

I knew by Melon Head's comment that he either didn't know what the fuck a micron was, or just thought it would make him sound smart because nobody else did. This was back when he was at the height of his popularity, before he got involved with the orange Pedo-in-Chief and started throwing Nazi gang signs.

L'm glad that the Cyberdumpster was/is such a failure; those things are ugly as fuck. On the other hand, I hate that the rest of us will have to foot the bill for his fuck-ups.

Your caption is wrong: "text me," not "text be."

Additionally, it's not an unknown emoji; ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ is a sighing emoji.

Literal proof that the rich ARE MORONS.

[โ€“] Spaniard@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't think most rich people are like Elon Musk. He is one of the few that wastes his time trying to prove he doesn't have a small dick.

They're not all idiotic like Snusk, but the bar is so low it's in hell.

[โ€“] kodevade@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 hours ago

One of the reason's they are super rich is because they are morons

[โ€“] MasutaHarada@thelemmy.club 17 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know much about chess and how it works in professional stage, but even i know whatever that musk spout from his mouth are complete arrogance and bs

[โ€“] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

he think hes smart if he plays chess.

[โ€“] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 2 points 50 minutes ago

Does he play though, or does he hire someone to play for him?

[โ€“] blackjam_alex@lemmy.world 45 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He's so insecure about his own intelligence.

Imagine being the richest man alive and your whole existence is being envious of other people's abilities.

[โ€“] mofongo@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 32 minutes ago

Entirely self inflicted. He's been wealthy all his life. He could have learned any skill or hobby.

[โ€“] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 51 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Elon Musk is the personification of a moronโ€™s hallucination of a genius.

[โ€“] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 hours ago

thats the ketamine, cocaine and dom perrignon talking.

[โ€“] axx@slrpnk.net 6 points 9 hours ago

He such and irredeemable dumbass.

Ok;

This is the observable universe.

Not the entire universe, which we have no idea how large it is.

So the observable universe has 10^80 atoms or so. The number of possible moves in all possible chess games is supposed to be around 10^120. That number is called the โ€œShannon Number.โ€

According to this site.

[โ€“] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

yeah but how many of those moves are not stupid as hell, like my moves

Whether a move is stupid or not is Irrelevant.

You do need to remove the impossible positions, like pawns on rank 1

I have been a full ass adult the entire time twitter has existed and I still don't fucking understand how the thread structure works.

[โ€“] Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I agree, and don't get me started on the clusterfuck that is Discord. How the fuck do you navigate that abomination of a GUI?

Want to add a friend? No fucking idea where the button is.

Want to call a friend? No fucking idea how.

And God forbid that you want go create a group call.

So I guess Elon tried to get into chess because it's a smart people hobby, got demolished, and now is having a sour grapes moment.
